The Rise of the “African Gagas”

Meet The Nigerian Lady Gaga's

Each time we feature red carpet photos with women in mini dresses, a stream of comments pour in – with many commenters speaking out against this new wave of sexiness and sassiness.
Nigerian musicians have also been criticized for featuring sexy women in their music videos and pushing the “moral boundaries”.

International music star Lady Gaga has definitely pushed the boundaries. No, she did not invent theatrics on stage or is not the first person to walk around the street in a leotard but for many people, she represents the new era of personal liberation.

African female musicians are joining the “Gaga” train. Despite harsh criticism and press scrutiny, they are still pushing the boundaries. It is not all about sexiness but instead they have expressed their desire to promote their craft in their own  unique ways – outside the box and against cultural expectations.

Goldie set the pace from the beginning of her career with her edgy videos and adventurous on-stage antics. Now, we have Dencia, Noni Zondi, G-Lory and Maheeda.
